EVANSVILLE - Evansville police arrested one man after he reportedly stabbed a man who was at the suspect's ex-girlfriend's apartment Wednesday night.

Charles A. Becker, 37, is accused of attacking Patrick Matthews, 28. Matthews suffered three torso stab wounds during the attack, according to an Evansville Police Department affidavit. His injuries required stitches but did not appear to be serious, though hospital staff told police that Matthews would be held for observation at St. Mary's Medical Center overnight, according to investigators.

The incident occurred just after 11:45 p.m. in the 5000 block of Tippecanoe Drive, according to the affidavit.

Matthews told police that while he was struggling to get the knife away from his attacker, Becker bit a piece of his ear off.

According to the affidavit, the woman told police that Becker entered the apartment from the residence's third-story balcony and immediately attacked Matthews.

Police later found Becker at his home in the 1900 block of East Franklin Street, according to the affidavit. He is currently in the Vanderburgh County Jail and faces three preliminary charges, including aggravated battery with a knife and burglary causing injuries.
